so I did the golf ball trick and it worked for the first 2 eggs. Then I got two soft shells that were on the ground splattered. So I started getting some in the box and some outside of the box but still in the coop. Lately I've been only getting one egg a day(I have 5 red sex links). So I figured oh it's fine they are just being lazy. Then yesterday I was cleaning out the coop and I found a nest with 6 eggs!! It was in the corner and was a perfect little nest! Then this morning I went out there and the nesting boxes, like usual, were empty and the golf balls and bedding were all scratched out to the bottom. So I took out the nesting boxes( they're homemade and removable) and in that same corner there was a nest with 2 eggs! How do I get them to use the boxes?!! Help please!
